We are the Devon Bootlegs Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This walk in the northeastern corner of the Dartmoor National Park includes a wooded section of the Teign Valley, some open moorland and an interesting tor.
We will start off in Dunsford Wood where I am hoping that the extensive wild daffodils that carpet the valley in early spring will be in full bloom. Next we will climb up onto Mardon Down, passing Wooston Castle fort on the way, before then visiting Heltor Rock later in the day, from which there are lovely views in all directions.
The walk starts at 10am from the car park on the B3212 near Steps Bridge. The what3words location is

and the nearest postcode is EX6 7EQ. The total distance will be 12.5 miles and I have graded the walk as strenuous because there are some steep climbs.
Starting at 10:00 from Steps Bridge Car Park (free), grid ref: SX 80283 88331
